    Signs of bad fuel pump?

    Last check they did (2wka ago) was misfiring , but running lean then rich? It’s so odd. There is no noise when I unscrew the cap - there used to be.

    Engine mount bust

    Thank you for the link - interesting read. I am learning so much from these forums and as a female owner I tend to in the past just go with what ever a mechanic says . I wish I had caught this earlier. Again thanks guys.

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    I was making mention to being stumped that they didn’t pick up mounts earlier. Not that they buggered. As a female owner I guess some mechanics see this a mile away :(. I drive quite slow cause I don’t want my head to hit the bloody roof when I drive . Enough is enough fix it and fek it off...

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    This is a police car before it came to me so I guess whilst service history is pretty good there are things I myself don’t know , I figured with the 120–30 that I bought it with they would have had to have looked after it. I have owned car 3 years now and put 60 k on it , the town I live in has...

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    Just sitting here hoping that nothing else pops up with this vehicle. Any suggestions on where can purchase parts for the work that they recommend gets done ? Garage tax for supplies is kinda high here so trying to help my own pocket here. Open to ideas ..

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    Ye All services were and are done on time - it is frustrating because I have still a few years on loan to pay it off. I am confused as to why engine mounts are buggered - it’s a town car and has always been , it’s not used as a rally car that’s for sure. As for back struts - this I don’t...

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    Seriously I am done .... another lemon . Last one was a dud , this one a dud and the first Holden (ve) had elec issues and it was new. I’m a magnet for sh*t I swear

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    At what point does this god damn stop .... can I just say I’m losing faith in this brand / car - service is due as I knew (booked in for) but can someone just take this thing away - frustration overload.

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    I’ll fix and ship it off in a few months I think. They quoted me a rough $2k to fix . I tried to attach a pic of the leaks but it won’t let me get a proper one up.

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    Ok so update: seal is busted in transmission, and as suspected engine front seal (?) is busted also, running lean (bad batch of fuel somewhere ) so got myself a pricey lil kick in the behind ;(
  24. SV6SLAVE

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    So jumped under the thing today .... a seal needs replacing in front of engine and looks like I may have a leak in transmission too as it has spread oil all over the joint. Booking the bugger in - it’s beyond my capacity to fix.
  25. SV6SLAVE

    Just tap it ..

    Thank you guys - I’ll replace bulb and do the headlight plug as suggested in next few days and see what comes of it thanks again ;)

    scraping noise in reverse only when cold

    this noise and issues happen when car is moving backwards in reverse not stationary,the noise seems to happen only in the mornings on first use of car for the day, I was inclined to believe that it may be coming from drivers side or from gear box and it can be heard inside the car and out side...

    Peter Brock Centre Cap ???

    Thanks. I didn’t understand what you mean until you clarified it. I think eBay or gumtree may be the go - I can’t find a thread for putting anything up for sale here.

    Peter Brock Centre Cap ???

    Does anyone remember the centre hub caps that were signed by Peter Brock . They were a “team brock “ thing. Can anyone tell me any more about them at all? I have a set here and I’m unsure what to do with them or if they are worth moving on.
